Do you take Photos via your iPhone and keep them forever??
Do you regularly 'offload' photos to your computer and remove from your iPhone??

Just interested to know how you store your photos?

I have them stored in iCloud and have my iPhone set to Optimize Photos so it doesn't take up a lot of space on my device. I also keep a free backup in Google Photos.

I generally have iCloud photos switched off although have iCloud backups switched on. May look into your solution.....

Me three except I use One Drive to upload to. They had a free Terabyte plan at one time so I jumped on it.

Is that free plan forever? Or is it the 1TB free with Office 365 subscription? I myself have 40GB of free storage (15GB free, 15GB camera roll bonus, 10GB referral bonus).

It was independent of a 365 sub. It was available for a very short time I think and I was lucky to jump on it.......

All of the above. I have close to 12,000 photos on my phone. But I copy them down to my computer regularly (without removing them from my phone), and I also back up to both Google photos and Amazon photos.
